The last thing you need in production are production outages, machine damage and increased maintenance costs. Wherever masses are set in motion, such risks can be minimised only if the deceleration of the moved masses is uniform and linear across the whole deceleration distance. Only if this requirement is met, may the solution be referred to as the optimum solution. The Hänchen industrial shock absorber meets this requirement!

The Hänchen industrial shock absorber compared to standard absorber elements show’s this clearly: The Hänchen industrial shock absorber (4) decelerates the mass across the whole deceleration distance at a constant braking force. It absorbs the mass gently and decelerates uniformly across the whole stroke. This results in a constant, linear characteristic curve and reduces the stress on the machine to a minimum.

Compared to common absorber elements, such as hydraulic braking cylinders (1), spring buffers (2) and air buffers (3), the Hänchen industrial shock absorber reduces the load on the machine by up to 80%, reduces the deceleration time by up to 70% and can increase the production rate by up to 100%.

The Hänchen industrial shock absorber meets the highest quality requirements. A failure is almost completely excluded, even if massively overloaded, and in the unlikely event of a failure, the defect can be eliminated quickly and at low cost. The latest sealing technology, a hardened guide bearing and the integrated solid stop increase the service life significantly. The front and rear settings, the appropriate attachments and mounting parts from the extensive Hänchen modular system and the continuous make thread enable numerous design and installation options.
